An introduction to VEX IQ programming with Modkit

A series of six lessons on VEX IQ Programming with Modkit. The lessons include:

• an introduction to the world of robotics in the context of the Key Stage 2 computing curriculum
   
• expanding on the students' knowledge on programming the drivetrain. Students will also use the Touch LED sensor to provide user feedback during the program execution
   
• introduction to sensors: students will learn how sensors allow a robot to examine its environment and how this data can be used to make decisions
   
• introduction to the ‘color’ sensor and its usage within Modkit
   
• a follow-up on the introduction of the ‘color’ sensor and its usage within Modkit. The students will also learn the concept of variables, which they will set to a constant value throughout the program
   
• revision of all the programming skills the students have learned throughout the lessons
